Nice. I like the color palette. There's green in the perch that matches the eye. Nice pose with the head turn and sharp detail.

Nice species, well photographed. The blue-ish streaks on the pole match the eye ring cool

. The background is also very subtle. Love it, Jerry ! devil

A restful image - what I refer to in my own work as a "quiet" image. Nice understated color.

Very nice and clean. The eye and the color balance of the BG make the image work for me.

Sweet image, Jerry. Like the muted colors. The pose and head-angle are attractive, and the perch and background are very complementary to showing the dove off. Excellent details on the dove.
